Longboard Slaloming is easy to do compared to traditional slalom (short boards) but the real fun of longboard slaloming comes from trying to beat the clock or your buddy's time. Brian P. of eastcoastslalom.com has now included longboard slalom races with his traditional slalom races. It is free to enter, informal and full of friendly competition.

The 2002 DC Outlaw Summer Series is a 4 -5 race season starting in June ending in September.

Skate at your own risk!!!! Pads are optional but highly recommended.

No entry fee. All you need to do is bring a friend. We even have boards to borrow.
